Episode 17 - How to stop overthinking and actually get things done

In this episode of The Three Little Birds Podcast, I’m talking about something that comes up all the time - overthinking. As an overthinker in recovery, I know how easy it is to research, plan, prepare, spiral, second-guess and then… do absolutely nothing.This episode is less about analysing every possible reason we overthink and more about helping you move through it. We’ll talk about how overthinking can be linked to anxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure, fear of success, overwhelm and the need to feel in control. But most importantly, I’ll share practical tools that can help you stop circling the same thoughts and start taking action.We’ll cover why good enough really is good enough, how to break tasks down until they feel almost impossible not to do, why limiting your choices can reduce decision fatigue, and how timers can help you get out of your head and into motion.If your thoughts have been feeling scattered, this episode is your gentle reminder that you don’t have to do everything perfectly. You just need to begin.Key themes:OverthinkingPerfectionismAction over perfectionDecision fatigueThe 80/20 ruleIf this episode helped you, why not share it with someone you know?If you'd like to hear more episodes like this, hit follow - and if you liked it, why not make my day by leave a rating or review?! 🤩I'd love to hear any tips you have to share for moving through overthinking, or any ideas you have for a future episode.
